Renewables
As the global energy transition accelerates, investment in clean technologies is surging – from wind, solar, and hydrogen to battery storage and grid innovation.
Yet, delivering these projects means navigating tight timelines, complex permitting, evolving regulations, shifting tariffs, project suspensions, funding terminations, and climate-related risks.
HKA’s multidisciplinary expertise supports clients at every stage of their renewables journey – helping navigate risk, resolve disputes, and unlock opportunity in a rapidly changing energy environment.
Your strategic partner in the Renewable energy sector
HKA provides strategic advice and targeted support to all stakeholders in the renewables space – from investors and insurers to developers, designers, contractors, and equipment suppliers.
We add value across every phase of the project lifecycle: from feasibility, regulatory compliance, and planning, through procurement and execution (or project termination), to close-out and dispute resolution. Our expert witnesses also play a vital role in formal proceedings when claims arise.
With clean energy now representing two-thirds of global energy investment, the sector faces growing challenges. Supply chain constraints, skills shortages, and performance shortfalls are triggering disputes – compounded by extreme weather events, shifting carbon credit markets, and evolving policies, subsidies, and regulations.
